RJ was original but tbh not great, for actual gfx members kyle is the best lp artist and shayne for tags
otherwise non gfx mitch takes the cake

This is opinionated. Also I wasn't here when kyle was.

RJ's tags were flawless imo, they were a different type of style that normally most people would say were bad. He had all sorts of crazy colors and ideas that sometimes didnt blend, but his results were still amazing to me.

tbh, I thought RJ was good back in the day..
but the only reason I thought this was I myself was still new to gfx.
He used a lot of premade brushes, either floral or vector..
The only thing he really had going ok was composition,
and sometimes even that was sloppy.
Gfx have evolved substantially,
what gets respect lately are digipaints, sick vectors, abstracts, manips,
smudge art, watercolors, c4d work, illustrator work
and overall well composed and superbly executed art.
RJ really didn't incorporate a lot of this because at the time,
there weren't a lot of people around here that even got down with that shit.

In short, There are better artists on this site now.
people have moved with the times.
